One feedback item on the topic submitted by users six months ago has been upvoted more than 3,000 times since.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the long delay, the Teams rollout for M1 and M2 Macs will be a slow process.  Rather than offering a universal binary right now alongside the announcement, Microsoft instead announced vague plans to automatically roll out the update &#8220;to customers in increments over the coming months.&#8221;  (Members of Microsoft&#8217;s Insider program have had access to an M1-native version of Teams in beta since April.)<\/p>\n<p>When Apple launched its first M1-equipped Macs in late 2020, we wrote about how impressed we were with Rosetta 2\u2014in most cases, many users wouldn&#8217;t even know they were running legacy Intel versions of their applications instead of Apple Silicon-native versions if they weren&#8217;t told.<\/p>\n<p>But nonetheless, users can expect native software to be more performant, and we&#8217;d expect nothing less from Teams.  Several other major software packages have been updated to run natively on Apple&#8217;s new architecture over the past couple of years, from Adobe to Unity to Microsoft&#8217;s own Office suite and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>But Teams probably won&#8217;t be the last to make the move, as there are still some stragglers left\u2014even among the big hitters.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>enlarge \/ Microsoft Teams running on a Mac.
